    Juggle Champ is a Flappy Bird-like game for football nerds. I know, i know, "not another one of these cheap rip-off clones" you think, and youJuggle Champ is a Flappy Bird-like game for football nerds. I know, i know, "not another one of these cheap rip-off clones" you think, and you are right. However, this is not a bare clone.

    First of all there's no bird. While building on the mechanics of Flappy and the like, the game is set in the football genre. Your task is to juggle the ball through the side scrolling world by tapping the screen to kick the ball. In contrast to the other games,

    Juggle Champ gets harder over time. Every 10 points the game gets faster and/or other surprises are waiting for the gamer. I'm not going to spoil too much now, specially since i only got up to 25 points and know the first two levels. Generally i feel that the game is bit easier than the original Flappy in Level 1 but gets even harder after that.

    The graphics are not in the 8-Bit pixel style of the original (and most of the clones), but appear to be lending from iOS 7's flat design, with flat colored high-res Sprites. Apart from the splash screen, which just doesn't fit in the rest of the game and looks like a placeholder for the actual splash screen, the design is very clear and light and a pleasure to look at.

    But where the game really shines is the sound track. In the title screen an upbeat loop welcomes the player and set the stage for the fast game play that follows. As soon as you hit the start button, the loop fades away, which i good idea, since it's catchy rhythm would probably interfere with the game. Instead you are cheered to by a virtual audience that applauds your successes and boos when you fail. All in all a great atmosphere.

    A little drawback are the ads. But since they are only shown discretely in the menus and not during the game, i'll let this one slip. After all it's a free game.

    In my opinion this is the best Flappy Bird based game out there. If i had to choose one of them to play for the rest of the year, it would be this one as it is fresh, enhances the game play and is well executed. 10/10.

The difficulty changes over game progress and that´s what makes it really fun and addictive. The ads are there, but they don´t mess with your game experience, since they are removed as soon as you start you run! You really should give this one a try and fight with others for the best score.

    Found this game here on MetaCritic and downloaded right away. Yeah, i used to play Flappy Bird when it went viral and yeah... i hated it. IFound this game here on MetaCritic and downloaded right away. Yeah, i used to play Flappy Bird when it went viral and yeah... i hated it. I liked the simple controls and the whole idea behind it, but it was just to hard and frustrating.
    Don´t get me wrong here, Juggle Champ is hard, too... but the best thing about it is, it gets harder the more progress you make. That what makes it much more fun to play and it´s still fair. You know when you hit an obstacle, it was your fault! There are also some surprises in the gameplay, but i won´t spoiler them for you.
